1.6GWh for €1B which seems about 5x as expensive as lithium-ion grid scale batteries.

Which is actually very impressive. 5X is a good deal, given how much more R&D and economy of scale goes into lithium batteries. Flow batteries have 2-3X more cycles and way safer

Interesting. I thought that all these redox-flow battery companies had gone bust years ago.

Always thought this was unlikely to make much sense.

Can this really compete with mass produced Sodium batteries also used in cars?
